Kiss Me Not

Cain had his private room and office inside the palace as the head doctor, so he headed there to take a quick bath and change his clothes, while the servant escorted Harry into one of the guest rooms.

The royal servant told him to wait for Princess Leila in former King Lucas' private living area as soon as he changed his clothes. He heaved a long deep sigh as he walked in the direction of uncle Lucas' wing. He openly addressed him as uncle now because former King Lucas insisted he called him uncle now that he was no longer King of the country.

Cain entered the living area and saw Harry sitting on one of the couches. Cain sat on the other side of the sofa, opposite him.

The servant arrived and served them the hot lime with honey. A deafening silence filled the air of the living area because none of the two men bothered to talk to each other. They quietly drank the hot lime while waiting for Princess Leila to arrive.

Princess Leila soon entered, and Cain stood from his chair to greet her. Harry did the same. Behind Aunt Leila was Kimmy, who instantly introduced Harry to her mother..

"Mom, this is Harry, a good friend of mine while I was in country D. He is Kenzie's brother-in-law, the one I worked with."

Leila nodded and extended her hand to Harry.

"Your Highness, it's so nice to meet you," Harry politely said with a slight bow as he accepted the handshake.

"It's nice to meet you too," Leila answered with a smile.

She looked at Cain and said, "By the way, this man here is Cain Lewis, the head doctor of the royal family. I hope you two can get along well as Kimmy's close acquaintances," Leila casually said and gave Cain a signal that Cain quickly understood.

"I'm Cain," he said, extending his hand to Harry.

"Harry," replied Harry and accepted the handshake.

Leila could feel the tension between the two men. She knew everything about Cain, and she liked him. But she did not know a thing about Harry, and she was sure her daughter would not disclose enough details about him to her.

"Please sit, both of you. Ah, it's raining hard outside, and right now, a crucial security matter is going on inside the palace. So, I'm afraid none of us can get out yet unless our King Gavin gives the signal.

Leila did not know what was going on inside the palace, but she knew it was serious since the military officers had already blocked all entrance and exit doors. Kevin informed her to remain in the King's private wing with Cain, Kimmy, and her guest for the meantime and wait for his further instructions.

"Ah, it's nice to finally meet at least one of my daughter's friends in that country. I heard she worked as a bodyguard for your sister-in-law. Tell me, Harry, why are you here? For a vacation?" Leila asked.

"Mom," Kimmy bashfully whispered. She could feel that her mother would peel out Harry alive.

"I'm honestly here to see Kimmy and take care of some business matters," Harry answered with a timid smile.

'He can smile like that now?' Kimmy mused, staring at Harry in disbelief because the man never smiled at all as far as she could remember!

"Aunty, can I borrow Kimberly for a while? I need some help on the files inside my office," Cain straightforwardly asked because he did not like the attention Kimmy was giving to Harry.

Leila's eyes brightened at that idea. In that way, she could ask Harry a lot about her daughter. She could interview and know Harry more, too, without Kimmy lingering around.

"Sure, sure…" Leila answered. Kimmy frowned, wondering what Cain was up to this time.

"Thank you, Aunty," Cain said with a smile, not bothering to glance at Harry's side.

Cain stood up and looked at Kimmy. Ignoring her dark face, Cain grabbed her wrist to pull her up gently.

"Let's go. We won't take long so don't worry about your friend. He will still be here by the time we finish." Cain whispered. Kimmy stood up with a pout and walked with Cain outside the living room.

"What are you doing?" Kimmy asked Cain as soon as they were in the hallway heading towards his office.

"You've been slacking for days now. I need my assistant's help with some work," Cain murmured, still holding Kimmy's wrist that he did not want to let go at all.

Kimmy bit her inner cheek as she looked at the hand that Cain was holding. She was feeling weird. She should have taken her hand back, but she didn't. Like it used to, her body had its own mind.

Cain pulled her inside his office. As soon as the door closed, Cain suddenly pinned her to the door.

"What are you doing?" Kimmy gasped.

Cain was cornering her with his two arms, blocking her sides.

*Thump *thump *thump

He was staring intently into her eyes, and she felt like he was digging deep into her soul.

"How long do you plan to drag things between us?" Cain whispered with a creased forehead.

"What?" Kimmy mumbled with parted lips…

Parting her lips like that was a temptation Cain could not resist.

He immediately took the opportunity of lavishing her lips with his. He nibbled Kimmy's upper and lower lip alternately, making Kimmy out of her wits. He was like a hungry wolf starving for her mouth.

It was always like that. It was as if Cain had a magic spell towards her that she could not reject his lips whenever it would meet hers. It felt terrific that instead of pushing him away, her stubborn arms encircled his neck, pulling him closer, asking him for more.

Cain inwardly cursed when Kimmy answered his kisses with the same intensity and hunger. He knew his limitations, but with Kimmy reacting to him like this, he could not help but feel greedy and selfish. He deepened his kiss, sliding his tongue inside her mouth. He could taste the lime inside, and it was unusually sweet.

Kimmy moaned inside his mouth when his tongue found hers, fencing then intertwining with it. Kimmy's knees weakened with that passionate kiss. Butterflies churned inside her that she was so out of herself and drowning with the sensual feeling Cain was making her feel throughout her body. She was too aroused with him just kissing her like that.

She wanted more… to feel again the same euphoria she had with him before inside his car that night. Her body was burning in desire just at the thought of that night with Cain.

She felt Cain lift her, and she did not care how he carried her and sat her on his table.

'What am I doing?' Kimmy mused when she realized that she was unbuttoning Cain's shirt.

She couldn't believe that she was attempting to remove Cain's shirt! She must be crazy!

She stopped what she was doing only to gasp when Cain suddenly touched one of her breasts, gently kneading and caressing it.  Instead of going back to reality and pushing Cain away, she ended up moaning softly.

Her soft moans gave another positive signal for Cain to continue and he aggressively unzipped her dress, letting it fall up to her waist.

Kimmy suddenly felt the cold air against her skin. Cain pulled away from her lips, and Kimmy looked at him with her hazy eyes as if she was questioning why he stopped.

"We can't just kiss like this anytime we want, Kimberly. I want assurance that I am the only one who can kiss you. I don't want to share you with any man. I don't want any other man touching you at all except me. Do you understand?" Cain whispered while his fingers touched her lips, trailing down to her neck then her collarbone.

Kimmy gulped, her body felt weak, and she did not know what came over her. She nodded. She saw Cain's face light up when she nodded. A beautiful and satisfied smile curved his lips as he leaned down to give her shoulder feathery kisses.

"I want you so badly. And I know you want me too. I am going crazy because of you, Kimberly. So please promise me you won't let any other man kiss and touch you like this."

Cain whispered while he continued licking and kissing her bare collarbone. She was so inviting, and Cain could not feel any resistance from Kimmy at all. And the thought of Harry doing this kind of thing to Kimmy was making him furious!

Kimmy moaned. She understood what Cain was saying, but her mind wandered around with the intoxicating sensation his lips were bringing to her body.

"Kimberly…" Cain called her name lovingly.

Kimmy gulped before she answered, "hmm."

It was as if Cain had the power to hypnotize her with everything he wanted as long as he was kissing her.

Cain knew Kimmy was drawn to him physically. It was lust, and he would take that as an advantage to conquer her. It was a shortcut, and he would take the risk in taking that route.

He stared into Kimmy's eyes and said, "From now on, I'm officially your boyfriend."
